"Stunning albeit a bit wide."
Pros: Beautiful Screen, Ultra-thin, Great Sound, Stunning Video Playback
Cons: This thing looks amazing but it is a bit too wide, makes it very boxy.
Summary: We just purchased the 8gig in green this weekend. I'd like to start by saying this thing looks amazing, really the color is beautiful, it is very thin, the polished stainless back is gorgeous, it is nice rounded corners, well you get the picture!
The first impression when you look at it is it is very boxy, which unfortunately takes away from its ultra-thin form factor. In many ways it is smaller than the previous Nano but because of its shape it looks much bigger.
When you take it out of the box the first thing we noticed was it is surprisingly heavy and solid feeling. This is probably due to the stainless steel back and all metal face. It feels much more solid though, which is a good thing.
Playing videos on this Nano is amazing. The picture is incredibly sharp and bright. Much sharper and brighter than the video iPod.
CNET said the sound quality was not as good. I'm not sure why because I thought it was a significant improvement. Maybe it is just me.
All in all, terrific product. As I said before a bit too boxy but with the larger screen this may have been unavoidable.
